international news and comment online on screen twenty four hours a day. venezuela is among three latin american countries extending a helping hand to the man who exposed world wide surveillance by the u.s. government edward snowden is finally started receiving asylum offers after being stranded in the transit zone of moscow's airport for two weeks tom barton is at the airport and joins us live now so tom it seems that the whistle blower has a few more options now. it does potentially bill doesn't it i mean the big question could it be the end for edward snowden's period. here at the transit area of moscow's sheremetyevo airport for two weeks the world has seen no public appearance of the man and now once it's just as it seemed his options were running. three potential asylum requests come in just in the last

couple of hours it's been revealed that bolivia has added its name to the list of countries that could offer edward snowden asylum that follows ecuador earlier on ecuador's president nicholas i beg your pardon not ecuador venezuela's president nicolas maduro giving his announcement that they would give edward snowden asylum. but as you know carol i have decided to offer humanitarian asylum to the young american edward snowden in the homeland of simon bolivar a new coach others and snowden come live here away flu shot you should the american people in the here leaders in the. know even the raw lists the president of bolivia has added how did his voice to that list as well it may or may not be connected with the incident with evo morales his plane which had to touch down in

austria on his way back from russia a few days ago it's reported after being denied entry to the airspace of a number of e.u. states because of suspicions that edward snowden was on board that plane whether that contributed or not to his decision he has also made a statement. he they think they can she merely atan some u.s. spy blackmailing us and dictate their own terms like they did before making a change our policy there were brought in which would make our own decisions and they can't pressure us into doing what they want. so as saying that bolivia would give certain asylum if they received an application daniel ortega the president of nicaragua saying that if circumstances permitted they could also take in the now famous or infamous however you look at it. mass

surveillance whistleblower the thing is tom he'll face a few obstacles were empty if and when he tries to fly out to one of those countries that has offered him a sign of. he could indeed bill i think at the moment edward snowden's biggest problem or at least the most obvious one is that he hasn't got any documents to allow him to travel as u.s. passport has been. by the u.s. he traveled from hong kong to moscow on a document provided by ecuador which they later admitted was a mistake of this so at the moment it does seem some kind of paperwork would have to be issued by whichever state he tried to work to fly to then there's also the problem of airspace to fly to venezuela or even to bolivia or to which there are no direct flights from moscow he would have to go most probably cuba perhaps somewhere else but if he went via cuba if it is possible he may have to pass through u.s. airspace which could present

a problem for obvious reasons and then there's also the problem that morales himself face which is crossing e.u. airspace they may want to stop any plane if they thought that it was trying to travel illegally on a plane all of this potentially complicating which ever country snowden tries to go to tom live there in moscow sheremetyevo airport thank you very much indeed for that update. for snowden applied for asylum all over the world but his requests have been rejected by a host of nations including european ones founder of wide awake news charlie mcgrath says that e.u. nations don't want to upset the u.s. despite snowden revealing just how much washington has been spying on them. the laundry list of nations that snowden has applied to for asylum include scores these european nations that are just all giving the same excuses that he's got to either show up on their soil or in their embassy you know the information that's

been released has shown that our allies in europe were the one in a lot of cases the ones being spied on so for them just to play the well we don't want to we don't want to upset the americans so we're going to give the standard answer no you know no comment or he's got to show up at the embassy it's it's very much a pressure rating for people like me that want to see the truth come out but when even when you expose the truth even when you give it this truth to the people who are being spied on they won't step up and support truth so yeah it is a bit frustrating to to see these european nations just kind of ignore this outright spying that's happening. and europe also appears no stranger to spying on its citizens that softer it's revealed france also has its own large scale eavesdropping program report suggests huge amounts of internet data being monitored and stored in a giant bunker beneath paris stay with r.t. for more details coming up

a little later on that story. egypt's islam is to support the deposed president mohamed morsi are vowing further protests until he is back last night's violence all thirty six people killed more than a thousand wounded in clashes between rival groups meanwhile egypt's new interim president is expected to name a new cabinet truth has been following the situation in current. kay aull second downtown cairo in the capital there were fierce clashes between supporters and opponents of the former president mohamed morsy i was actually in the street battles myself and i saw civilians with guns them on the tops of rocks people were breaking up bits of the pavement to throw at each other to stretch across three of the major bridges between on either side of the between these rival protest groups the security forces got involved for a while but they couldn't contain the violence we have heard that the interim president is expected to announce his cabinets this is hopefully going to put down

some of the state institutions so that we can try and sort out the situation in the country which is becoming impossible in addition there have been rumors of talks begin between the muslim brotherhood group which is the islamist party that the deposed president hails from people are looking to the miniature right now to control the situation as they are the only institution that really is organized enough or has the sort of power enough to be able to sort this out we saw quite a little amount of soldiers in the clashes last night people were actually criticizing the military for that saying you know where are the police where are the military the capital is on fire probably playing quite a careful game at the moment as the tensions are very high many people here expect a curfew to be imposed as was imposed during we don't know if i really should i'm following i'm following the revolution to be imposed in addition we expect as i said the military to possibly be having to it to the muslim brotherhood green to try and rein in supporters come to some kind of political compromise to bring this country out of this chaos and political stalemate. and you can follow bill

true on twitter at the moment she's in the midst of the events in the egyptian capital she's providing the latest updates and pictures from the country caught up in the crisis and these are now live pictures coming to you from the country at the moment thousands upon thousands of people filling the streets there live scenes there from egypt following the form of president mohammed morsi well the muslim brotherhood supporters insist that they will remain in the streets until their deposed leader is back in power dr mohammad abdul aziz from the second mentor islamic center in the u.s. believes the undermining of the power of the ballot box will lead to chaos in egypt what happened in egypt is obviously mubarak's military going back in order to take the country back to normal. as opposed to the revolution to the revolutionaries

people who are cheering in the streets right now be the first to cry tomorrow when we set the precedents that it's ok for people to go to the streets and for the military to oust an elected president what happens next so the country elects the other guy who happens to be a liberal or or a socialist or whatever and then the psalmist's supporters of morsi millions of them will take to the street and then we oust the next guy and then we keep going because i mean that's not a democracy anymore that's the rule of the jungle meanwhile economists predict egypt's fragile financial position could be even greater risk global trends forecaster gerald celente says in a poor country any leader can reach the top vom more brule but if they don't deliver they won't last. it was the foundation of why the revolution began in the first place it wasn't an arab spring it was a lot of poor people you had most of the people living on ten dollars a day and that was the genesis behind the foundation being on the move barack

overthrow people want to live a higher standard of life the vast corruption all the money of the top of the pyramid and the rest of the people having nothing and then when morsi came in he made it worse it wasn't that he was in his longest so much it could have been mickey mouse so mohamed morsi would have made no difference if the people had a standard of living that was going up rather than crashing as it was you know about the long a gasoline lines tourism virtually and the country went into deeper poverty and that's really the genesis behind all of these what many of these uprisings around not only egypt but around the world still to come here and on t.v. struggling with starvation while the amount of charity food banks trip across the county the welfare minister calls it a free lunch linking the runs with people's grief. and hunger and people stories and in just

news continues here in r.t. brussels is threatening to suspend its data sharing with washington fresh on the heels of revelations about the n.s.a.'s mass eavesdropping on europe the e.u. is demanding complete transparency and maximum information from the u.s. that's despite recent reports revealing its own snooping activities france is believed to be running a version of the and essays in from its prism program. investigates.

this building behind me in the eastern part of kerry or rather the story bunker underneath it is the epicenter of the crash spy scandal that had quarters of the country's security services and it's from here that it's now coming from says big brother it's news because he called monitoring millions of phone calls text messages taxes and e-mails. how do you sleep with. the french public is actually very much you have been p.c. been conflicting messages from their leadership. first few weeks after revelations over america's rescue now it's all on top and damned america saying it's not what others do now it's been revealed france is itself doing exactly what it just very vocally denounced. french officials are downplaying the allegations over the country surveillance program claiming the reports are inexact however the prime minister's office did admit several services do conduct monitoring operations for

security reasons political scientist says the exercise the excuse is not convincing the key issue is not terrorism any longer if you want to be effective in the fight against terrorism first you should not provoke it by actions abroad like drones in the case of the united states second you should have a kind of police operation. in the united states you know did not stop the boston marathon attack but then every citizen is checked in his or her personal life all the time so what technology makes possible becomes a reality because there's no other way leaders used to acknowledge it to the pool and they claim it's stupid taken trees against terrorism but terrorism is mostly an excuse of course that played against terrorism is legitimate but so you know everyone in order to fight terrorism it's not a necessity at all. by the way if you missed something you can get the full picture

might be a word until not long ago it was rarely used now they it's on everyone's lips in real terms as a stereotype bites feed poverty is rising half a million people are now dependent on feed banks according to figures in a recent joint report compiled by charities church action poverty and which many see as a direct result of mounting social spending cuts and the burden of care is often pulling to charitable organizations such as this one so this is where all starts with the distribution in the kitchen with the warring gradients. and this is a six week operation so it all gets kicked kicking thoughts nice and early and then once it's done it's sent to the turned the cold be accepted by your lower back so from then just invite chaos and some new people. and it could be seen lots of new

people. young people. on board people young people live in squats. most of them are in. the people or more low income and benefits and jobs and stuff but they the number and dependence on feed banks have been steadily increasing something governments are playing down the connection with policy on the rise today. prices i didn't say how they are going to charity operate. six days a week the big corporation in a thousand people were the. government funding were used to unfortunately cancel the cut the funding for all the day centers so now we're on the wrong foot luckily we got a couple supermarkets interests. in diverting the food from. this would normally

all the strawberries bananas and examining would normally end up in. so so you're saving the environment and recycling back into the community and obviously helping people who are going hungry and there's a lot of people nowadays going hungry but we've seen a huge number of people using this service today and services like this to become even more pivotal in the future the government might just have announced another round of paying for the start but the truth is the u.k. can stay on this deficit reduction policy while many in government know it's looking forward to the future past the next election is that there could be much much worse to come sara. now for some other international news in brief this a train carrying seventy tankers of crude oil has rattled and burst into flames. quebec multiple explosions set off an inferno which rapidly spread to nearby houses

beijing wasn't enough chinese investors are now preparing a massive deployment right in america's backyard the construction of a canal connecting the atlantic and the pacific oceans through nicaragua is due to begin next year sponsored by a chinese firm ortiz kitty pilgrim reports. the idea of the canal terry nichols has been kicking around over one hundred fifty years now that a chinese businessman has dumped up forty billion dollars from global investors it could become a reality now the owner of hong kong based hate k. n. d. group is funding to start building the canal in twenty forty which they claim will be ready for action by twenty twenty eight so let's have a look at the that it will be able to see that the plan is to build one hundred seventy eight mile was way connecting the caribbean and the pacific and it would be

three times longer than the panama canal which took a decade to complete now the group faces wide criticism over its plans and i spoke to asia expert david who dismissed event as a joke i'm hoping it's a joke i'm just hoping that it may be some some things are. too much time because if you think about it. there wasn't already taken out. west and east you wouldn't really sort of think about putting one in the ground we were anyway it was a really good one. reason why we target was because it was the shortest distance between the land. so why would anybody want to do a new you know that is actually going from east to the west coast we just doesn't make any sense. but the investors behind the project insist that world trade needs

. and that the panama canal is not enough to handle the trade already conducted between the east and west so those who are laughing at the project right now might just have to change their tune if this game changing project succeeds. russia's city of khazan is putting on its best face as the twenty seventh world university games is set to kick off with a spectacular opening ceremony presided over by president vladimir putin as organizers apply the finishing touches artie's pour scots took a walk around the venue. over the course of the next fortnight more than thirteen thousand athletes from one hundred seventy different countries to descend on the majority of them staying here this is the university village a purpose built brand new university complex in the city center now despite the fact that the authorities say the finishing touches are still being applied to some of the venues the message is clear. is ready. every time.

you have an extremely excited. everything is going to go well and you don't have any clash. whether it's. even if sometimes of a little bit too late we go they will be ready on time. some of the. confidence hosting an event like this doesn't come cheaply official estimates say these games have cost up to five billion u.s. dollars has seen a complete overhaul of its infrastructure with the development of new hotels and new transport network installed and around half of the sixty four sporting venues at the built from scratch and this is the jewel in the crown of the county. forty five thousand. come saturday night will be packed to the rafters hope to be

a spectacular opening ceremony and don't worry about its legacy because as of next season russian premier league side. is also set to be a venue. football world cup but of course it's not just on dry land where the medals are going to be decided here the aquatics palace swimming synchronized swimming and diving goals are all up for grabs in fact of the three hundred fifty one golds available in total fifty eight are going to be decided here. despite the hefty cost involved in hosting these games organizers a keen to point to the legacy it will provide in order to get the games. to begin procedures and to begin procedure is a big part is a big part of the points are attributed to the legacy and i think this is a very important tool to have the public going with your project that they know that everything that you are building would not be only

a one shops project but that will believe to the public afterwards although the opening ceremony isn't until saturday evening some competition has already started causing a stir in the athletes' village various are very excited we are discussing the happy it's different it's exciting and it's nice to have a better than that's much more than i expected so very good fourteen of the sports are optional these include the likes of rowing and rugby sevens all five sports are making their debut here and including boxing. now i'm off to the university that would be a great scene creasy boys and girls willing to learn book sing in such a great atmosphere. if inspiring the next generation of sporting greats is the objective of hosting events like this than russia will get. over the next few days the world athletics championships winter olympics world swimming championships and world cup all coming to the sure by two thousand and eighteen the organizers

there for hoping that these games will show that russia is ready to welcome the sporting world scots altie. a to bring home stay for the moment tell me about the team and just have a half an hour from now the meantime mexico is a ruffles the feathers of the world's financial power play is in the kaiser report that's just after this break. south carolina is playing around with the idea of using shane plates which are license plates that can display special messages the department of motor vehicles would have complete access to all these plates and be able to display text on them like suspended uninsured amber alert or stolen you know i actually don't mind the

idea of using shame as a punishment i guess it could be a real deterrent to have drunken loser written over the license plate of someone who drinks and drives in fact drug driving plates have been in place in some states for a while but the problem is that more often than not shame penalties aren't the punishment for a crime but just a bonus one in my native ohio you can go to jail for three to thirty days and have your license suspended for one to three years for driving which is a brutal punishment in a country where everyone drives to work you see people are already punished for drunk driving and in america when you pay. your debt to society i.e. you get out of jail you're supposed to have a clean slate but the bonus license plate suspension and possible punishment plates make this a triple sentence ignoring the fact that the government will be able to practically display words on your person like a brand on cattle is bad enough but multiple punishments for the same crime seems like a bit of a she thing to me but that's just my opinion. welcome

to the kaiser report imax kaiser the bond apocalypse is upon us a new world order of ever rising interest rates will make leverage speculation and decadence thing of the past is your retirement plan to flip your house to some greater fool forget about it want to lock up your neighbor for the rest of his natural life because he did do something in private to which you object to get about. how the sudden urge the senate serves to invade some oil rich nation you've never heard about until yesterday forget about it in just about the past thirty years.
